He was published to marry, 2 June 1754, Elizabeth Wendover, but apparently did not carry out his intention. Jonathan Dowse was a joiner by trade. His father-in-law, Phineas Upham, died in 1720, his wife, Mary, surviving him. Whether she died in 1739, leaving her rights in Upham's estate to be distributed to the heirs, or some other Upham relative died about that time, a necessity arose for a guardian for Elizabeth (Upham) Dowse's only surviving child, Eleazer Dowse and his father was appointed. Jonathan Dowse of Charlestown, Joyner and Walter Russell of Cambridge Husbandman bothe in the County of Middlesex, bonded for Jonathan as guardian of Eleazer Dowse a minor in the 13th Year of his age (Middlesex Co., Probate, 6393).
